You have a default entry in /etc/fstab for a "linux ext2 filesystem" so if
you do;
mount /dev/fd0
it will look for an ext2 filesystem on the floppy of which it will not find
as they will be of vfat type. (or msdos)..
use;
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt
or
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

There is nothing wrong with that entry, its just that its for an ext2
filesystem and no one will be able to write to a floppy, as it gets mounted
read-only.

There's not a lot wrong, just replace user and press any key to continue.
